On 1968 After finishing performing as the lead singer in the israeli IDF band “Lehakat Pikud Tzafon” Ben Israel toured Europe and settled briefly in Austria to record the LP “Happy Birthday, Rock'n'Roll” on CBS Europe label.
Ben Israel returned to Tel Aviv in early 1969. He hooked up with guitarist Shlomo Mizrahi, leader of power trio “Ha'Bama Ha'Hashmalit” (The Electric Stage) and recorded 1970's “Bullshit 3¼”, one of the first Israeli psychedelic recordings. The album was harshly criticized by the local media and had little commercial success, but has gained a great reputation amongst collectors, being regarded as a "psychedelic masterpiece” around the world.
